Yes that's correct tax paid in UK, income declared as Crown/ UK government pension to spanish tax authorities but not taxed. As for my Gestor it is just our local village Gestor. You would better saying where you will live in Spain and I'm sure someone in similar situation will point you towards someone to help.

Thanks a lot for the clarification Bobd22. I hope I shall be able to explain that to a "gestor" in a clear way! I'm based in the Caceres region, so not sure whether any good gestors that people might know... with experience of "UK pensions"...! Kind regards. And thanks a lot.

​​​​​​I mentioned it to my gestor before trying elsewhere and he had same understanding as me it's not an issue to deal with but he needs to know what the pension amounts to and so long as government pension not taxed in Spain. To date I have had no issues.

Fred James

All that the gestor needs is the gross amount of the government pension. The Spanish taxman is not interested in the amount of UK tax paid as it is not relevant (unless you are claiming it against Spanish tax, which you are not).

The amount of the pension paid (gross) is entered into one box on the declaration described as exempt income (rentas exentas). That’s it.

The income is added to other income such as the UK state pension etc to determine the tax rate applicable to the other income.

Sorry anagerbera - I did my FD9 before my pensions were paid - but my understanding would be that once you are confirmed as a tax resident in Spain with the UK tax office and a code of NT issued you would just need to inform your pension payer to pay it gross.

But maybe someone who has been through the process recently can add clarification?

Fred James

Your pension company will be notified by HMRC of your NT code automatically.

Barriej

This is correct as mine were automatically informed in late November last year and with Decembers pension payment all of the tax was repaid by the provider not HMRC.

Joppa

Yes, just like when you were paid by PAYE and you are issued a new tax code after submitting your tax return. HMRC automatically notifies your employer, who then uses your new code and repays any overpaid tax or collects more tax.

Please can anyone tell me what the exchange rate - GBP to EUR - is for 2022 Spanish Income Tax purposes? TIA

Fred James

Based on rates from the ECB, it is €1.17266/GBP
